Appreciate Hajppin&s
. There are times when I think tiie framers of the
Declaration of Independence m"ssed a point in 'heir use of
the phrase "pursuit of happiness." Yes, I understand what
they were driving at—and I quite agree wi'h them. Happiness is something you have to get for yourself. It cannot
be legislated into being, nor incorporated in cradle-to-grave
Statist benevolences. All that can be done is to give the individual'the right to pursue it for himself or herself.
Perhaps the framers didn't miss the point so much as
their descendants have. Doesn't it seem 1o you that most
people spend more time in pursuing happiness than they do
in enjoying happiness that they already possess?
There is the man who works so hard to pile up money
for the security of his family, that he never has time to give
them the security of love and companionship. There* is the
woman who is such a perfect housekeeper that she hasn't
time to enjoy her home.
I know a couple who have both been so successful that
tjhey will have a small fortune when they retire. At present, they meet occasionally for a meal together between
trains- I wbnder what memories they will havei to talk
about when they do retire.
Qn th# other hand, I know a couple who both have to
work'hard wHil.e her mother takes care of the baby. They
have planned a schedule for the baby that permits—without
harm to hex*—of her being awake in the evenings when they
can enjoy her and shower their love on her. They appreciate Happiness.
I know another woman who, when confronted with the
fact th&t fier Sight was going, set out-to see-all the 'things
she'had wanted to, so she would have them to think over
wlfieri she was blind. She appreciated happiness.
I know a man and wife who had been prominent and
active. When she was confined t,o bed, he told her that at
long last they could enjoy themselves — he read to her
books they had always wanted to read toge her, and they
talked out all the things they had been too busy t,o discuss.
He told me after her death tliat that time was the most
completely happy time of his whole life. They appreciated
happiness.
What could you not be happy without—that you already have? Think it over—and then enjoy today. Appreciate your happiness now!
Clean Up
t
Why is it important to prevent lifer and safeguard
beauty? Latter is not only a health and safety menace, but
is expensive to clean up. Some $500 million in tax money is
spent each year to de-lit; er highways, city streets, parks,
beaches and other public areas, according to Keep America
Beautiful, Inc.
Conversely, a clean well-kept community generates citizen pride, indicates stability and keeps property values up.
Then what can the average person do about it? A great
deal. In fact, he js the only one who can stop it because he
,is largely responsible for it. Here are some specific do's and
don'ts: Keep a nea,t litter-free home and back yard. Teach
your children not to litter and most important of all set a
good example by not littering yourself. A good example
will rub off on your children; also on your neighbors.
Always carry a litterbag in your car and be sure to use
it. Encourage local you.h groups to sponsor anti-litter projects. Use your influence as a taxpayer and voter to make
sure Jopal anti-littering ordinances are enforced.
Remember, only people are litterbugs. And people's
habits can be changed.
4$ Vandalism Rises
A century-old church in Brooklyn, New York, has had
to be abandoned. The reasons for this illustrate a disturbingly common problem in our society. Abandonment was
forced because vandals repeatedly smashed stained glass
ywjndows, overturned benches and other furniture, ripped
light fixtures fnom walls and ceiling, slashed vestments and
■robes, and even tore out the pipes of the organ.
..3"he Rev. Qmar Reyes, pastor of the church that was so
•'■van^lized, uttered this mild yet searching copunent: "I
^IfiSfe^wdnder what could get in*o them to make them desecrate a hibuse of worship. They are to be pitied, those
youngsters."
One's anger is indeed tinged with pity for those whose
yaluV:standards are so twis'ed that they get pleasure from
%1»ton destruction pf others' property. But anger and pity
'arfn^t^e^ugh.The problem of vandalism is enormous, and
-•j^wfrig;— and not .confined to the largest cities. Stricter
^^^ijahiEe and::lawe(Morc«iient -will help, but in the long run
~ji^-Oifily;hope of improvement lies in a more intensive edu-
-joatiorial .effort, an effort, in which school, home and church
